Thankful Thursday Week 2

So another week of thankfuls flying around our house and we are still churning out the thankfuls...my gal pal Kristin, from Our Life Full, had a genius idea...you document your "thankfuls" on cards and every year you put those cards in a book or journal and year after year you watch your children's thankfuls grow and change, and you can also document how their hand writing changes year over year...great idea huh? See her cards below...

So the last week has been a funny one in our house, Avery continues to keep it real with the things she is thankful for and Olivia is starting to remind us of a 74 year old woman...

Blogging about my life as a wife, a working mother, a friend, a daughter, an avid spray painter, a monogram lover, a champagne drinker, a Red Sox fan, a Mexican food craver, a lover of planners and organizational tools, a reader of People Magazine, a Pinterest pinning fool, a back in the day 90210 fan, a slight control freak, a mother who wants nothing but to raise kind little humans, and most of all a woman who is in search of faith and patience.
